About The Mustard Seed Edmonton

Funds raised at Coldest Night of the Year 2020, will support our temporary Southside Shelter in the Old Strathcona neighbourhood. Since it first opened in November of 2018, the shelter has provided refuge from the cold for 5149 men and women last winter. The shelter was created in an attempt to fill the gap as there was no previous shelter for individuals experiencing homelessness on the southside.

The Mustard Seed Edmonton was first planted in 1988 in the old Central Baptist Church on 96th Street where it blossomed into a haven for low-income individuals and families. Today, hundreds of people rely on the organization for food, clothing, counseling and other support services such as housing assistance, employment coaching and spiritual development.

This year we are excited to announce that the top twenty fundraisers have a chance at winning Flair Airline flight for two to anywhere Flair flies!!!
